CinemaSerf:
If only for the cave with the sliding door, I remember this mildly entertaining fantasy adventure from my childhood. It all follows the usual path of a hero who falls in love with the princess to the chagrin of his boss who also has designs on her! In this case it's the princess "Zafir" (Helen Gilbert) who is the object of everyone's desir; "Amdar" (Paul Henreid) the man she loves and "Khalid" (John Sutton) the malevolent usurper who would have her father's kingdom and his daughter. Fortunately for them, and us, she has the assistance of the wily "Sheherazade" (Jeff Donnell) and there's the occupier of the magic cave, too. He is, of course, "Ali Baba" (Philip Van Zandt) and he might just be persuaded to help out. Oh, right, and there's also "Sinbad" (Lon Chaney Jr.) just to keep the "Arabian Nights" theme fully exploited throughout. With a public execution looming, it is going to fall to the heroic men to save the sultan and his daughter from the scimitar, but will they manage to overcome the city walls and the overwhelming number of royal guards in time? Nothing remotely original, no, but I did quite enjoy this theatrically delivered costume romp, especially the lively effort from Donnell who clearly thinks she's more than a match for any man (character or actor). There's plenty of action to stop the romance getting too cheesy and though Henreid is as wooden as a cedar tree, his talents mix well with the rest of the mediocrity on offer here to present us with a perfectly watchable adventure film.
